Iraq War funding bill passes the House and Senate WITHOUT a troop withdrawal timeline. Boehner made an impassioned plea for the bill and really put it all in perspective. Hot Air has the video, here's a partial transcript:

"I didn't come here to be a congressman — I came here to do something," the Ohio Republican said as he choked up with tears in his eyes on the House floor. "And I think at the top of our list is providing for the safety and security of the American people. That’s at the top of our list. After 3,000 of our fellow citizens died at the hands of these terrorists, when are we going to stand up and take them on? When are we going to defeat them?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, if we don’t do it now, if we don’t have the courage to defeat the enemy, we will long, long regret it," he added.
